It is said that if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you (can) teach him how to fish you'll feed him for a lifetime.

= Se ha dicho que si le das un pescado a un hombre lo alimentas por un día. Mas si lo enseñas a pescar, lo alimentarás por toda una vida

Corregid mi español, por favor grin

original caption: Se dice que si da al hombre un pez puede proveerle de pez por un día pero si puede enseñarle cómo a pescar puede dar de comer al hombre para vida

No digo deber, digo tener que. - dc-alien-z, Apr 22, 2011
Interesting expression that could be interpreted as either a good or a bad statement. - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011
"A los niños hay que enseñarlos a odiar". - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011
That is why I pointed out the difference between should and have to in the comments. - dc-alien-z, Apr 22, 2011
I am confused, did I say it wrong? I don't understand your sentence. Thanks, Tom. - dc-alien-z, Apr 22, 2011
Hi! I probably should've been clearer; I wasn't 'scolding' you. I was just pointing out that the construction of that sentence is one of those things that, without context, could be looked at either way. - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011
I interpreted that 'children don't hate unless people teach them to'; it could also mean "we need our children to hate, therefore we need to teach them" Don't sweat it, i know what you meant, amigo. - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011
Ha, I will change the English now to match the Spanish. I have never been so far off before. Thanks so much, Tom. Is what I wrote called ambiguous? Thanks for you patience with me. I am slow sometimes. - dc-alien-z, Apr 22, 2011
It's cool, buddy! You are not slow, it's just a different "lenguaje". Here's the translation that fits your new wording: - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011
"Los niños no odian a menos que se les enseñe a hacerlo". - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011

A "cells" person - 0043ad50, Apr 22, 2011
"enseño a estudiantes" for clarity. "enseño estudiantes" could be taken as "I'm showing students in a cytology program"; Of course, you could always get rid of "students" altogether and still make sense. - 002067fe, Apr 22, 2011

We hardly ever get visitors.... - sanlee, Apr 23, 2011
Hey Marshall don't you dare go down in that cellar with our Sanlee , dya hear now. - ray76, Apr 23, 2011
It's the hospital laboratory, Ray. It's fine. The doctors go down there all the time - sanlee, Apr 23, 2011
